The Marketers Guide to Pinterest – Infographic

We experience life visually and the role of photos, images and videos in our life is evidenced by the sheer quantity (250 million a day) of photos of friends, family and cute dogs that are uploaded to Facebook every day .

I remember returning from the annual summer holidays and my father would invite all our friends over to view the photos and videos that he had taken on the yearly trip.

The visual record of the trip was a vital part of the the sharing of the stories and experiences that had occurred in our family travels.

Photos are highly engaging and the rise of Pinterest to become the 60th most visited site in the US last month provides more data to verify the attractiveness of beautiful images on this visual pinboard social media network site.

So Who is Using Pinterest?

Well according to the numbers it appears that women are the largest participants at 87%.

Females 25-34 – 27%

Females 35-44 – 29%

Females 45-54 – 24%

So I would suggest to the males who read this blog that if they want to to hang out with smart, intelligent and attractive women then they need to look no further than Pinterest!

How Engaging is Pinterest?

It was in 2010 that Facebook passed Google for the first time in time spent on site.

What is more telling is to compare the amount of time that the average user spends per month on the other social networks as a comparison measure of the level of engagement.

Facebook is the most engaging site on the planet at 405 minutes per month

Pinterest and Tumblr are equal in second place at 89 minutes

Twitter comes in third at 21 minutes

LinkedIn – 17 minutes

Google Plus – 3 minutes

All these numbers and demographics are great for marketers to know when it comes to demographic targeting and engagement levels.

I’m punch-drunk happy with Pinterest! Just today I was at the bookstore telling a couple about this site!. I’ve enlisted friends, my daughter, my husband – it is like a window into my world and I don’t have to explain anything. I only wish I could have invented the site myself!

Thanks Rick for your comment. Pinterest will be an extremely engaging and powerful platform for any “visual” business. I will watch with “interest” to see how the online pinboard sensation evolves!

Interesting stats across the different social networking groups! Had no idea Google+ is not getting the support it was hoping for… Facebook still tops! Pinterest growth really amazes me – but then who doesn’t enjoy the stories behind good pics? Good luck to them all…

I was ready to try this out, but they want a CC for a $1 purchase, and that set off alarm bells. A quick search presented this site: http://www.scamadviser.com/is-pinleague.com-safe.html . I’d love to check it out, any other evidence they can be trusted to secure my CC and not sell it or worse?

Uh oh that will unfortunately scare alot of people off. So maybe I’ll reconsider…however there has to be something out thr similar tht doesn’t require money?

Don’t you think that with a population that lives far longer than any other that cutting age off at 54 is a little premature??? Some of us who may be OVER that demographic are long-time digital geeks –

In total agreement Nancy, but then we don’t know just how many of us are out there.

Stands to reason that Facebook will come out tops, it came into the marketplace purely for connecting with family and friends. So numbers grew fast, for marketers it is not cut and dried. Large numbers does not always equate to good ROI – Facebook is a game to play cautiously in marketing.
